New Police Stations and Outposts Proposed in These Locations

• Nokhra: A new police station will be formed by combining 31 gram panchayats from Rageshwari and Gudamalani police stations.
• Bachhraau: To reduce the 65 km distance between Dhorimanna and Sadar police stations, a new station is proposed with Bachhraau as the central point.
• Bhiyad: With the formation of a new Panchayat Samiti, it will now also be made a police station. Residents of 25 panchayats will no longer need to go to Shiv.
• Shiv (CO Office): Following a long-standing demand, preparations are underway to make Shiv a new police circle headquarters. A Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) will now be stationed here.
• Veeratra Mata Temple: A new police outpost is proposed here for the safety of devotees.

Why the Need Arose?

After the reorganisation of districts, 47 villages from Gudamalani, Rageshwari, and Dhorimanna were added to the Barmer Sadar police station. Due to the increased distance from Sadar police station to these villages, the public was facing difficulties. To reduce this distance, new police stations are now being established in areas like 'Bachhraau' and 'Nokhra'.

Proposals for police stations are being sent to the government based on population and new boundaries, so that the public can receive immediate police assistance.
